Haier's Rendanheyi
Haier repeatedly reorganized a large appliance manufacturer around small teams responsible for user value, eventually combining microenterprises, internal contracting, and ecosystem platforms. The design distributes substantial operating authority while corporate ownership, strategy, resource allocation, metrics, and leadership-designed rules keep constitutional authority concentrated.
How can a very large manufacturer make small teams directly responsible for creating user value without allowing hierarchy and internal bureaucracy to absorb their initiative?
